ertising Week's 2006 Walk of Fame contest.The "Don't Mess With Texas campaign began 20 years ago to combat roadside liter and its pickup cost.. Our slogan beat out 25 other well-known slogans including 'Just Do It'by Nike, the California Milk Processors Board's 'Got Milk'and 'Have It Your Way
'by Burger King.It also beat out Campbell's Soup's 'M'M M'M Good,'Dunkin Donuts 'It's Time To Make The Donut's,'and Wheaties'Breakfast Of Campions.'To celebrate our big win, "Don't Mess With Texas" victory banners lined New York's Madison Avenue on Friday, and the slogan will receive permanent recognition in the Advertising Icon Museum in Kansas City, Mo., which opens in spring of 2008.

I never knew the origin of the slogan....now I feel much smarter.

Let's see Dallas won, the Gump is still President and people are suprised that a member of Congress likes underage kids.

I thought it was "Don't mess with Jackie Sue".......
Ya think maybe it has to do with the fact the people can carry guns down there legally???
Excellent slogan! What pisses me off is when I see parents littering in front of their kids! In any state or country it's just gross.
The only Texan I know who I wouldn't mind pissing off is Bush, but he isn't really from Texas, right? Do Texans who know they are real Texans really think of Bush as a Texan? Anyway, I always thought the guy was from Maine.
It was also a good day for the TT Red Raiders with a last minute win over the freaking Aggies. Woo Hoo. Gotta luv Texas Football. But what the fuck is with Texas playing Sam Houston State. Talk about a hollow victory.
shane:..is you spam?
junebugg: well that is supposed to be just understood.
ol lady: legally and illegally..plus the kids are crack shots too from hunting all their life.
sue: one of the first things i taught my kids..dont liter...
snave:nope bush is not a texan..he was born in Conn. and was only here as a kid and then went to yali where he was such a dofus, he couldnt play sports so he was a 'fucking cheerleader'..actually we real texans have an expression for people like bush...'all hat and no cattle'..
fuzz:whoo hooo i love ttec..i have been following their quarterback since he was in high school at ennis..baylor won too..so it was a great weekend..
Surfing through passing out Cheer. Its's click and comment Monday.

lilfeatheres2000:im biting my tongue here..but will take the high road...thanks for the cheer and the blessing...(we don't need no stinking cheer..) sorry ..im evil..

RUBY ROCKS:que no fuck with texas..????

Did it beat it the most famous slogan in Blogville? "Don't mess with Jackie Sue, unless you want to be blue; let me give you a tip, she has the power to big..."
OOPS-- power to BIP!!! Not big!!!
Most people who messed with Texas got their asses canned, LOL! I'm glad I wasn't eating or drinking anything when I read that, LOL!
